"She wants to ask a female guard to teach her martial arts?" He Shuijin asked Jiang Qizheng in surprise, "Are you kidding me? How can anyone teach me this?"
Jiang Qizheng said: "Mr. Shao said that she did this to prevent Princess Yang from inserting people into her confidant to oppose her. Originally, she wanted to ask Mr. Shao to come forward to be the difficult person. But Mr. Shao felt that it would be difficult for Princess Yang to do this. It would be better to put some people in, and it would better show her nature, so she refused. She made such a request when Mr. Shao couldn't agree. "
He Shuijin laughed: "Yes, she secretly practiced with Old General Ruan. If she starts teaching martial arts in her school, won't she just leave others behind?"
"At that time, I can also use it as an excuse to give guidance to my classmates, and punish anyone who is dishonest." For the Jiang family who knew Qiu Yilan's details, it was not difficult to guess her purpose through Qiu Yilan's request. Jiang Qizheng He chuckled and said, "What a fierce little girl! Our nineteen-year-old family is gentle and elegant. I really wonder if I will be bullied by her if I really marry this person in the future."
"I kind of like her." He Shuijin took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "This is a great way to use one's own strengths to overcome the enemy's weaknesses."
Jiang Qizheng held her snow cheeks, pondered for a moment, and said, "What do you mean, sister, give it to her?"
"It's not like there aren't any female guards from the Jiang family. I don't think it's a big deal to send one or two over to teach some martial arts and leg embroidery." He Shuijin said nonchalantly, "But this would be too smooth for Princess Ningyi."
Jiang Qizheng couldn't help but said: "Sister, you just said you like her, I thought you were trying to defend her, but it turned out you were trying to tear her down?"
"I just like her, so I have to work hard." He Shuijin muttered, "If Shijiu doesn't like her, why would we find excuses to visit her again and again? Maybe she doesn't even know, you, and Yongfu The princess went to visit her and saved her a lot of trouble! Otherwise, she would have been happy to talk to Queen Mother Gu and the others, and the officials would be embarrassed to settle accounts with her afterwards. Who doesn't have a few filial daughters and granddaughters? "
Jiang Qizheng said: "Okay, what are you going to do to sharpen your skills? Let's talk about it first and make sure there are no traces! Otherwise, I won't care about you if Nineteen gets anxious with you."
"How could I let Nineteen get caught?" He Shuijin chuckled, "Delay the matter of the female guard for now - won't there be a bustle in Beijing in the next two days? Ruan Qingyan is also among them. Let's take her out. Let's watch it together and find out what she means to Ruan Qingyan..."
Seeing Jiang Qizheng pondering, He Shuijin encouraged, "Otherwise, while asking us to worry about her, she still misses her cousin. What's going on?"
Jiang Qizheng frowned and said, "But it's so exciting..." It's okay for the young masters of the Jiang family to get involved in the oiran competition. At most, they would be laughed at and said "Young and romantic", and the female relatives would run away... This is too outrageous. …
Although most of the Jiang family are not rule-abiding, it still depends on what the rules are!
He Shuijin smiled and said: "You still say that Jiu Jiu is honest, and you don't know how to adapt? Do you think Princess Ningyi is still observing her filial piety, and if she is asked to compete with the oiran, she is willing to go? It's not like we don't know that the oiran competes We can just get a private room nearby and set up another banner. Since we are running into this oiran dispute, why don’t we stop by to see what’s important? Who dares to say that we went there just for this kind of thing?”
Jiang Qizheng hit her lightly and said angrily: "I stay with my grandmother and sister-in-law all day long, and I have nothing else to do except to make them like you. It's not like you are a busy person, running around all the time. Aren’t you knowledgeable and wise?”
Then he said, "In that case, please think of this excuse with me, sister!"
As expected, He Shuijin thought quickly and said: "What's so difficult about this? There is a bonsai of Begonia in the old lady's garden. It was a birthday gift from Qiu Zhongyan, the father of Princess Ningyi and the former King of Xihe. Go and ask the old lady for it. Let's lend it out and let's hold a Haitang Ci party. Isn't it natural to invite Princess Ning Yi? "
"This is a good reason to make Princess Ningyi miss people." Jiang Qizheng nodded with satisfaction, stood up and said, "Sister and you, you and I are drinking tea here, and I will go tell my grandmother about it."
Qiu Yilan, who was in the Xihe Prince's Mansion next door, didn't know what they were planning here, and was looking at the two new classmates who came to study with probing eyes -
Autumn pearls and flowing water.
Qiu Yilan glanced at the former and ignored it, but the latter made her a little interested: "This Sheng Shishui and Princess Yang have become relatives for several times, and they specially called her to come to Xihe Prince's Mansion to go to school... Say no. To deal with me, who will believe it?”
The nominal lady of the Sheng family is fourteen years old, with a fair face and a pair of slit eyes under distant brows, and her charming look is revealed in her gaze. Her long black hair was tied into a snake bun, with a long red gold hairpin inserted sideways, with a pearl the size of a dove egg shining brightly under the sun.
She was wearing a green dress that was tailored to fit her body. The pale green color perfectly highlighted the girl's delicate and fair skin.
"I wonder what tricks were used to get Princess Yang to invite her here?" Qiu Yilan is not well-informed now, and she is not very clear about the origin of Sheng Shishui. Sheng Shishui himself introduced her before he knew about her. The one who was related to Princess Yang snorted inwardly and said, "Sit down."
The two of them, who had been left alone for almost half an hour, were finally able to take a break. Qiu Mingzhu kept her head lowered to avoid being seen with her resentful eyes.
Sheng Si Shui thanked him gracefully, with a calm expression and no trace of annoyance.
"Fourth sister goes to school with me, there is no problem." Qiu Yilan looked at the seats, ordered Su He to make tea, and then said unhurriedly, "But I am a little worried about Miss Sheng. ah!"
Sheng Si Shui smiled calmly: "Please give me some advice, Princess!"
"My eldest brother is already old, and he will welcome his sister-in-law this year." Qiu Yilan said casually, "My seventh brother has also passed the age where men and women can sit separately. There are older brothers and younger brothers at home, and Miss Sheng said it's us My relatives are just a few steps away. I’m afraid that if you study here, people will talk about your reputation!”
Qiu Mingzhu's face froze, and her heart was awe-inspiring: "This bitch is so mouthy!"
After what she said, if Sheng Shishui still insists on studying here, can he not be looked down upon? If these words reach the ears of Miss Ding, I am afraid that the person who passes through the door will not like it and should beware of Sheng Shi Shui!
However, Sheng Shishui smiled nonchalantly: "Princess, what you are saying is that when Aunt Yang called me to come to school here earlier, I was very hesitant! But Aunt Yang assured my grandmother that the school will be located at your residence. Nearby, the two princes from the palace would not come, so my grandmother allowed me to come. "
Okay, she has established her own identity - I am not shameless enough to come to your house for lessons, it is your princess who invited me here!
Qiu Yilan smiled playfully: "Is that so? Then I have no problem. You also want to listen to Mr. Shao's class, so come."
"Thank you, fifth sister." Qiu Mingzhu didn't know whether she was happy or sad after hearing this. She was happy that she had successfully become Qiu Yilan's classmate, and she could be regarded as accountable to Princess Yang; but sad that she had become Qiu Yilan's classmate. … God knows what kind of life we will live in the future
She had a lot of different tastes here, but Sheng Shishui started to have a relationship with Qiu Yilan without any surprise. He took out a beautifully embroidered brocade handkerchief and said that it was specially embroidered as a meeting gift: "I'm clumsy. , The embroidery is not good, I hope the princess won’t dislike it.”
Qiu Yilan glanced at it, and Su He stepped forward to take it and unfold it in front of her. She saw that the light green handkerchief was embroidered with three or five light-colored flowers, and diagonally on the diagonal were a pair of tall flowers. Fei Egret obviously took care that she could not use bright colors in her filial piety. But because of the superb embroidery skills, this square handkerchief looks very elegant and expressive, especially the egret's eyes, which are very vivid.
"This is considered clumsy. There are not many clever people in the boudoir." Qiu Yilan asked Su He to put it away and said lazily, "You are interested."
Sheng Shishui said humbly: "As long as the princess likes it."
"Chunran took them to see the boudoir school and the room for them." Unexpectedly, Qiu Yilan collected the things and returned them, but turned around and called Chunran over and told them face to face, "Where is the boudoir school? Enter the school." Anyone who wants to come in can come in. You will take someone to clean out the room in the corner later. If you come early, please wait there. If you see such unruly people, remember it. Come and tell me! Although my girlfriend is in this courtyard, this is my residence and she is not my guest, so don’t disturb me!”
Chunran lowered his head and it seemed that Qiu Mingzhu and Sheng Shishui knew that these words were meant for them.
Sheng Si Shui's eyes flashed and he smiled sweetly: "It's an honor to be a classmate with the princess, how can I dare to ask the princess to worry again?"
"Just don't worry about me." Qiu Yilan nodded and said bluntly, "You and I were strangers before, and we had no enmity or friendship. I think it will be better for you if we stay like this from now on."
Does this mean that you are sure that you can't defeat her? Sheng Si Shui suddenly felt the desire to win in his heart, but the smile on his face became even more humble: "Dare you disobey the princess' orders?"
Chun Ran took the two of them back, and Su He brought a basin of cherries over and whispered, "Why did the princess agree to keep them?"
"Otherwise? Let Princess Yang go around and say that I will split with the palace right now?" Qiu Yilan mumbled, "Especially the money for the renovation of my girlfriend's school and the invitation to Mr. Shao were all paid by the palace. Princess Yang asked Qiu Mingzhu Come and read together, what’s wrong?”
"That Miss Sheng family..."
Qiu Yilan said disdainfully: "She's just a little girl who is only fourteen years old!"
"You are only thirteen!" Su He reminded, "You have to call her sister according to her age!"
"But is your princess smarter than her?" Qiu Yilan chewed the cherry and said dissatisfied, "Will I lose to her?! What a joke!"
Su He said anxiously: "Yes, yes! You are smart! But, you have so many things to worry about now, can you concentrate on dealing with Miss Sheng?"
"Is she worthy of your princess to concentrate on dealing with her?" Qiu Yilan took a cherry and stuffed it into Su He's mouth, nodded her forehead and said, "She came to study with her, just to create trouble for me and use her study to get better. The convenience in this yard is to find out the news! The former is meaningless except for venting, while the latter can just help us select new recruits! "
His voice lowered, "What we are going to do tomorrow is serious! Are you putting the cart before the horse by worrying about such a person?"
Su He asked excitedly in a low voice: "The old concubine's dowry list...?"
"The news that Xia Ran came over just now has been delivered to Uncle Lian!" Qiu Yilan nodded, "Thankfully, Aunt Bian got pregnant in time - didn't Qiu Mengmin's first son recover? It just saved people from talking about it. We have no mercy and intend to force him to death!”
